Jewelry & Beading

Felted Beads

by Tammy Powley on June 26th, 2006

When I first received this book to review from Interweave Press, I wasn’t sure what to think about it. I love fibers and so always thought felt making would be fun, but felted jewelry? Seemed like a stretch to me at first.

Now, granted, my personal jewelry taste as far as what I wear on a daily basis tends to be conservative. I just wouldn’t feel comfortable with a big felted flower wrapped around my neck. But, one of the extra cool things in this book is the idea of making felted beads. Now, that has some major possibilities.
